Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify factors associated with permanent complications after surgery for lymphatic malformations (LMs) in children, emphasizing the need for selective surgical intervention.
  • Out of 112 children operated on between 2001 and 2021, younger patients (under 1 year) and those with cervicofacial and microcystic LMs faced higher complication rates, mostly neurological.
  • The findings suggest that less aggressive surgical methods may lead to fewer complications without compromising long-term cure rates, advocating for caution in surgical approaches.

Introduction:  Parkes Weber's syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by overgrowth and vascular malformations, primarily affecting the extremities. While PWS is known to be associated with arteriovenous and capillary malformations, the potential involvement of lymphatic malformations (LMs) has not been previously reported. The objective of this study is to investigate the presence of lymphatic anomalies in PWS patients and their role in the development of limb asymmetry.

Provisionally unclassified vascular anomalies (PUVA) are a group of diseases with unique characteristics that make them unclassifiable within vascular tumors or malformations. We describe a PUVA as the cause of recurrent pericardial effusion and its response to sirolimus. A 6-year-old girl was referred with a cervicothoracic vascular anomaly, a violaceous, and irregular lesion in the neck and upper chest, diagnosed as "hemangioma".

Targeted therapy has become the first therapeutic option in many patients with vascular anomalies. A male 28-year-old patient presented a severe cervicofacial venous malformation involving half-lower face, anterior neck, and oral cavity with progression despite multiple previous treatments, with a somatic variant in TEK (endothelial-specific protein receptor tyrosine kinase) (c.2740C>T; p.
